According to AVG this site gave me a virus.
B
Well maybe not a virus, but a form of malware. It was an Active X exploit. Even with the viruses, I still LOVE this site. I just wnt an explanation. Maybe it was a misunderstanding?
L
most likely it was a rogue advertiser. Our site does not have any viruses, but the advertisers are outside our control (unless you know which ad it is then we can complain about it).
B
It happened when I entered, this page. It has happened twice so far.https://www.romulation.org/downloads/Right now there is a Tempur Pedic ad on, but When I just went there, the tempur pedic was still up and I didn't get the virus. It might have been from a blocked pop up. I'm going to try to check them now.

Are you using the SafeSearch? I have found it does occasionally pick up fake alerts time to time.
K
Usually it's just the ads... (annoying rogues... like Tauren Rogues... *what's that up there?*)
L
Tauren can't be rogues.

it wasn't romulation, it may have been one of our adverts.

Anyway about a year ago I caught a nasty one from the off-site voting sites. A pop-up came up on Dave's screen when I confirmed my vote for RomUlation, when I closed it BAM! I was hit! In mere seconds poor Dave started to shutdown & restart like he was totally trippin' Balls :'( I lost alot of unrecoverable data then.

never had a virus from romUdo you have a firewall cause if you don't its like running around with a loaded gun.
